What Are Tracking Pixels? 

Let’s say you want to generate data from an email or website for an online marketing campaign. You can install a pixel graphic to track metrics like web traffic, user behavior and conversions. This pixel graphic is called a TRACKING PIXEL. 

Also called a marketing pixel, a tracking pixel is a graphic with really small pixels (1×1) that you can install in the HTML codes of your marketing mediums to track relevant metrics. This could  be anything from your digital ads to your website and emails.

How Tracking Pixels Work

A tracking pixel It is a snippet of a HTML code. It works by activating to track relevant marketing metrics when a user performs an activity like opening an email or visiting a website. 

When you add tracking pixels in the HTML code of your website or in an email, an external link to the pixel server is included in this code. When a user visits your website, their browser interprets the HTML code, clicks on the external link, and sees the hidden graphic. The server records then this information in the log files and and helps you access information like:

• If your visitor is using a mobile device or a different operating system. 
• Screen resolution of the device used.
• Actual activities on the website during the browsing session.
• The IP address of your visitor and even the time they visited your website or read your email.

Why Is It Important?

• Optimize your websites
• Optimize your ad campaigns
• Build a well-targeted audience
• Boost your web conversion rate 
• Keep track of your audience base
• Make informed marketing decisions

In the end, all that helps you market better and run a successful business.
